]The real first crisis has come. The LG Twins only won and lost two games four times in a row last week, narrowing their gap with the runner-up.카지노
LG lost to the NC Dinos with one win and two losses last week at Jamsil Stadium, and lost to KIA with one win and two consecutive games at Gwangju on the weekend. The injury to Elijah Hernandez left a hole in the starting lineup, destroying the overall balance.
LG, which had Lim Chan-kyu on the 22nd but lost 5-6 after a close game of extra time, gave up the winning run, won 3-0 on the 23rd with Song Seung-ki's six innings of no-hit ball, but lost 1-3 to the opponent's starting pitcher Riley Thompson on the 24th.
At the first game against KIA in Gwangju on Saturday, LG staged an all-out war. Starting pitcher Son Joo-young allowed five runs, but the team stuck to the end, and the bullpen blocked it to the end, winning a come-from-behind victory of 6-5. On the 26th, LG, which lost 4-8 as substitute starter Lee Ji-gang collapsed in the early stages and was blocked by opposing starter Adam Oler, scored two runs in the sixth inning from James Nail, who was playing well, to tie the game 2-2, but gave up one run in the bottom of the seventh inning and later failed to hit the KIA bullpen, and had to suffer a one-run loss by 2-3.
With 20 wins and 9 losses, the team's winning rate has collapsed to around 70 percent, falling to 609 percent. The team has narrowed the gap to three games with the second-ranked Samsung Lions (17 wins and 12 losses), who have won five consecutive games.
The biggest problem is hitting. In the six games last week, LG's team batting average was only 207 percent. The team batting average for this season also declined to 267. The team has come down to third place, trailing only Samsung (0.285) and Lotte (0.282). It had 21 points in six games, or 3.5 points per game. Compared to LG's average score of 5.8 in this season, the team has lost more than two points.
All the main players seem to have lost batting sense. Austin alone recorded a batting average of 364 (eight hits in 22 times at bat) last week, with no one in the 300s, while Moon Sung-joo recorded 95 (two hits in 21 times at bat), Park Dong-won 190 (four hits in 21 times at bat), Hong Chang-ki 1706 (three hits in 17 times at bat) and Shin Min-jae only recorded 133 (two hits in 15 times at bat).
The mound is still holding up. Unfortunately, other starters are generally stable, although not as strong as they were in the beginning. As the season has been over a month since the season's opening, the team could experience fatigue little by little. The Chirinos had thrown 77 pitches during five innings in the match against the NC Dinosaurs on Wednesday, feeling tired. Son Joo-young is also experiencing ups and downs due to tough weather in the early stages. It is fortunate that Lim Chan-gyu is steadily stable and Song Seung-ki, the fifth starter, is throwing better than expected.
LG is expected to face a crisis this week. The team will meet the third-ranked Hanwha Eagles in Daejeon on weekdays, and play three consecutive games against SSG at Jamsil. Hanwha has strong starting pitcher and good bullpen session centered on Kim Seo-hyun, which gives the mound tremendous power. How much LG's declining lineup will be able to target will be the key to the team. The team has to meet Choi Jeong, who will return to the game against SSG on the weekend. Only when the team finishes its batting slump, will it be able to maintain its No. 1 ranking. The pitching of new foreign player Koen Win will likely affect the mood of the team.
The "Absolute First Round" team, which had a winning rate of 80 percent, collapsed to the 70 percent level in just a week. How will the team overcome the first crisis of the 2025 season when it seeks to regain the championship title.
